Trains
Chasing Shadows: A Melodic Journey Through Solitude
Lyrics
He spent his days all on his own
Isolation and solitude characterize his daily life.
With wind and wine and his guitar
He finds solace in nature, alcohol, and music.
He'd left the city he was born
He left his birthplace years ago, seeking escape.
Some years ago and ran too far
He ran away, perhaps trying to escape challenges.
His heart was young, his bones were old
Despite a young heart, he feels the weight of age.
The railway station halls were cold
The train station symbolizes a cold and harsh reality.
And trying to flee from stains and strains
Desire to escape problems by chasing after trains.
He used to run after the trains
Running after trains as a futile attempt to escape.
He never brought something about
Failure to initiate change or make a difference.
And let the days come as they flow
Acceptance of life's course without interference.
He used to be the odd one out
Formerly an outsider, observing transient people.
Saw people come, saw people go
Witnessing the constant flux of people in his life.
At night he tried to count the stars
Contemplating the vastness of the universe at night.
And looked for luck in whisky jars
Searching for luck and meaning in alcohol.
And trying to flee from stains and strains
Continued pursuit to escape life's challenges.
He used to run after the trains
Repetition of running after trains as a motif.
And every night he squandered
Squandering time and opportunities every night.
And every road he wandered
Wandering aimlessly through various life paths.
And every song he sung in shame
Feeling a sense of shame in every song sung.
Seemed to him all the same
A sense of monotony and lack of diversity.
Through the years in his own spheres
Learning to live with personal fears over the years.
He learned to live with his own fears
Dreams of a distant place that was once home.
Dreaming of the place he once called home
Continued reflection on the concept of home.
Through the years in his own spheres
Reiteration of living with personal fears.
He learned to live with his own fears
Enduring solitude amidst natural elements.
He spent his days all on his own
Repetition of spending days in isolation.
The clouds above, the stone below
Emphasizing the harshness of the environment.
He had no promises to keep
No commitments or obligations to fulfill.
And miles through frozen flogging snow
Enduring a challenging journey through snow.
He had to go before to sleep
Necessity to keep moving before resting.
No aim except a warming flame
Seeking warmth in simple pleasures without goals.
The girls he met looked all the same
Encountering similar experiences with people.
And trying to flee from stains and strains
Continued effort to escape challenges.
He used to run after the trains
Repeating the theme of running after trains.
And every night he squandered
Recurring pattern of wasting time and opportunities.
And every road he wandered
Continual wandering without a clear purpose.
And every song he sung in shame
Perceiving every song as a source of shame.
Seemed to him all the same
Feeling a sense of sameness in life's experiences.
Through the years in his own spheres
Adapting to personal fears over the passing years.
He learned to live with his own fears
Reiteration of living with and accepting fears.
Dreaming of the place he once called home
Revisiting memories of a place once considered home.
Through the years in his own spheres
Reflecting on the enduring nature of personal fears.
He learned to live with his own fears
Continued adaptation and acceptance of fears.
He spent his days all on his own
Emphasis on solitary existence once again.
His heart was young, his bones were old
Contrasting the young heart with aged bones.
The railway station halls were cold
Reiteration of the cold environment at the station.
And trying to flee from stains and strains
Persisting in the attempt to escape life's challenges.
He used to run after the
Final repetition of running after the trains.
